Patrick, One of my favorites is the Director's cut of the Abyss. Supposedly the scene where the pet rat is submerged into the breathable liquid was shot using the actual liquid breathing solution. (Note: Ed Harris -Virgil 'Bud' Brigman- did not imbibe) Orson Scott Card's novel also mentions that it has been done using human subjects but only filling one lung with liquid. Weird stuff. Why the Director's cut? Nothing scientific I'm afraid...it just explains the aliens intent and the politics much better. Dave Oh, here's a link i found on the subject: http://www.scienceweb.org/movies/abyss.html On Thursday, July 25, 2002, at 09:27 PM, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
The Museum of Natural History has asked me to do another Science Movie Night. In case you don't know that's where they do a free screening of some science or science fiction movie for the public and then hold a discussion about the movie after.
I have a couple of possible movies in mind but would like to get other input.
